Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Building Reform Regulations: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage

Mr. Se?n Armstrong:

With regard to the re-use of existing homes we have the vacant homes strategy. There is a €150 million urban regeneration development fund for vacancy-related projects. There is guidance on compulsory purchase orders by local authorities, the roll-out of the data collection projects in local authorities and the development of the full-time role of the vacant homes officer throughout local authorities. We also have the Croí Cónaithe fund, which was discussed earlier. There are also planning and development Act requirements to re-use homes and encourage the re-use of buildings and compact growth. That is all I can say on the use of homes.
